Lets talk about set over set

You'll see it less than once every 400 hands though because not everyone will see a flop with every pocket pair they're dealt.


Poker math is a bitch.

The problem of "If I have a pair what are the odds of someone else having a pair in a 10 handed game" is actually quite complex and I didn't see a satisfactory answer in a long thread on twoplustwo a few years ago.

So I will approximate and say that the probability of you having a pair is .059 and at least one other player having a pair is .42.  Your chance of a set on the flop is .117 his is .082.  That all adds up to approximately once every 4000 hands I think.  6 handed about every 7000.  hmmmmm Cryptos rng needs an ovehaul.

Just had another thought - these are the odds of any set over set flop - for you to be on the wrong end of the transaction is much lower than this.
